Leo and his family.

From the beginning, the CuRe Trial team was supportive and kind. Maria and Amy gave me so much information and put me in contact with Dr. Farmer, the fetal surgeon. When I spoke with her, it was obvious she is passionate about improving the lives of kids with spina bifida and really knows what she’s talking about. Plus, she explains everything in a way that makes sense.

Any time I had concerns, Dr. Farmer was always willing to talk with me to make me feel more comfortable. I really appreciated that. If it’s possible for other families to participate in the trial, I encourage it. I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity. The CuRe team is amazing.
